Hello Feltbeaters! And Blog Readers! Here it is!

Meeting Tom was an incredible experience – he’s a fantastic guy! He was so genuine, down to earth, and extremely gracious to his fans. It was like chatting with an old friend – and he was an absolute joy to meet! He answered multiple questions, from his music to Deathly Hallows – including many of the ones you asked. In addition to me representing Feltbeats.com, staff members fromThe Leaky Cauldron, Mugglenet.com, and Snitchseeker.com were also present at the interview. They were a joy to meet and work with.

Tom Felton Interview

Of note from the interview:

• Tom has NOT signed an official record deal with Six String productions. He says that the company blew the concept out of proportion. Tom discussed that he and Six String have talked about possibly recording some of his previous songs, and maybe in the future he will do something, but as of yet NO record/album deal has been declared. He mentioned that they are both willing and able to work with each other, and have been talking. Just talking. Tom actually mentioned he was a bit frustrated that Six String blew it so out of proportion. He said their general good working relationship is a bit strained. He says he has no intention of a career change, and definitely “won’t be getting in the pop scene”.
• Tom said he wasn’t able to keep any memorabilia from set. He wanted Draco’s wand and cape for sure, but couldn’t get it. He did say, however, that he was excited about getting Draco’s wand at WWOHP.
• Tom say’s he absolutely loves to see himself as a little Draco Lego player. He admits though, that he isn’t very good at playing. =)
• As far as hard parts of Deathly Hallows filming wise, Tom said that the Room of Requirement scene was very physical. He said he was exhausted after the filming. He actually mentioned that filming Malfoy Manor was difficult cause he and Dan couldn’t keep it together. Apparently, there are points where Dan and Tom have their faces right next to each other, and they just kept cracking up. They made jokes, and Tom even mentioned it felt like there should have been a kiss coming.
• The ‘post production’ part of DH that Tom is most looking forward to are the effects and CGI. He mentioned he has always been impressed with the incredible team, and thanked them for all their hard work. He also mentioned that he absolutely loves the scores from the movies – from the big booms to the small xylophone chimes. He says they always nail it right on. Also, he is always interested to see how they piece the movie together – because they shoot everything at once.
• When asked what his favorite part of the past 10 years on set, Tom said “The end still hasn’t sunk in yet”. He said he has his memories, but it would be hard to identify just one spot from the ten years. One memory though that has stuck in his mind is when filming with Chris Columbus even before he was cast.
• He discussed the emotions of Draco during the Final Battle. He said that Draco had his “head hung low”, because he felt the burden of going from the ‘good’ side to the bad. He said there was just a bunch of emotions that needed to be portrayed.
• Tom was asked what he would do with Draco if he got to write another book. At first, he jokingly replied that he would want to switch it all up, become a Gryffindor, and all. He then laughed, and admitted he hadn’t really thought about that, but it’d be nice for Draco to break away, start his own family, etc
